Lots of love for the Bulls getting 2.5, but what about the ML at +125. Seems like the possible better bet here.

Missing Wallace is going to be a factor, but not a big one...maybe costs the Bulls 2 or 3 points in the game. Missing Noah is not a factor, imo. Many Bulls fans were upset with this draft pick, precisely because they don't think he'll be an impact player in the NBA. He wouldn't have made an impact in his first game.

I think the Bulls are 3-4 points better on a neutral court with Wallace. Any thoughts on the Nets home court advantage? Big one, small one...I don't really have a good feel for the intangibles of the NBA. Thanks all.

I hate to disagree here but there were talks in the preseason that Noah was gonna take a lot of minutes from Tyrus because of his work ethic and even a slight chance he was going to start.

Ben Wallace is, as ESPN 1000 has reported, is a game time decision. I follow all that is the bulls and I fully expect him to play but just limited amount of minutes.

I like Tyrus he has his bursts of energy that show potential starhood but I think he is not developed enough right now. I'll be interested in seeing what happens in the first few weeks.

I'll take your word on Noah, but even without him (ie, last year's team) I think they can beat the Nets. In the end, I think I'd call the outcome of this game a tossup, so I'm taking the Bulls at +120 (was a bit slow, unfortunately). 1 unit.

Go Bulls!

Seattle/Denver u 217 1 unit to win .91 unit
Cleveland ml +145 1 unit to win 1.45 units

ytd 0-1-0 -1u

[123xx456]

what do you guys think about this bet:

three team teaser
kings +14
Bulls +7.5
bucks +11

1 unit to win 1.50 units

Bulls looks solid at +7.5
Kings not so sure but 14 is a lot for opening night. But need some more insight for this game
Bucks +11 seems like they can stay close if Redd plays well and if center Andrew Bogut stays out of foul trouble. Plus Mason adds more scoring. But still not ssure please add insight if you have any of r this game too!

Thanks for all the insight!

Was -2.5, +101 (+103 MB)

Edit: adding 0.5u more on Was -2.5, -104 (-102 MB)

Both Jermaine O'Neal and Troy Murphy, who were doubtful to play, are confirmed as sitting out the season opener. Their injuries/doubtful status were already somewhat factored in, but the confirmation that they are not playing, bumps this play up slightly for me. Line has moved a half point at most books, including Pinny, Greek, BM, WSEX.
